Yes I ordered some on board delivery cigarettes earlier this month that cost £82.00 for 400. The same 400 cigarettes ordered today for delivery on board between Christmas and New Year is £105.00. I mean it's still a fraction of the high street price and £82.00 has been the case now for a good few years so I guess they were overdue an uplift.... but even still it was noticed, especially as the last purchase was only a few weeks ago. Still way cheaper than the over inflated UK airport 'duty free ' prices so highlife shop still gets my business. Less so against international airport prices however so I need to keep tabs on prices abroad more often.
